Maneuvering angle rigid formations with global convergence guarantees by Chen, Liangming, Lin, Zhiyun, De Marina, Hector Garcia, Sun, Zhiyong, Feroskhan, Mir

“…When the leaders have time-varying velocities, a sliding mode formation maneuvering law is proposed by using the same measurements. For the 3D case, to establish an angle-induced linear equation for each tetrahedron, we assume that all the followers' coordinate frames share a common Z direction. …”

The Malaysian 'Islamic' state versus the Islamic state (IS) : evolving definitions of 'Terror' in an 'Islamising' nation-state by Chan, Nicholas Wai Yeap

“…Through tracing the changes in the state's definition of a ‘terrorist’, we seek to show how the portrait of a terrorist is not only inherently political (and at certain junctures, politicised), but it also reflects on the nature of the state, as the ' terrorist' is invariably the constitutive other of the state, albeit one at the extreme end. In the case of Malaysia, we have shown that the discursive ease m externalising the ' terrorist' is not always a certainty. …”
